      I discovered this amazing song by fluke by getting free audience tickets for the Carson Daly show back in 2011 whilst on holiday in the states. Amazing.

    Having been 'broken in two" by someone nearly 25 years ago, this song is such a beautiful kick in the gut -- it captures the pain, perfectly. And it still hurts.
    It always will.

      You just have to see her
      You just have to see her
      You just have to see her
      You just have to see her
      You just have to fucking SEE HER, YOU KNOW THAT SHE'LL BREAK YOU IN TWO. 14 years. 14 fucking years and it still hurts.. 14 years and the world is still falling around me. 14 fucking years and I'm still broken. I don't even know why the fuck am I still alive 🙂.

      We all have a song that reminds us of THAT person that correlates with a song. This song is so fucking good and hits so hard to this day. Such a great song; the build up is 2nd to none. The story telling is A+ and surreal. It's so perfect of encapsulating a moment in all of our lives that we can relate to.
      In short, and absafuckinglutly fantastic song! Turn it up and cry if you need to!!!!

    From time to time a song will come along that speaks to a time in your life. When this song came out my son was going through a break up at college. This song captures his pain. I don't think he ever really got over the girl. When I hear this song it takes me back and i feel a little of the emotion that overwhelmed me at the time. As a parent, seeing your child in pain, is devastating.

      On the album he does the rasp-yell-rock voice, but live he hits almost a falsetto on that note. I think he's sparing his vocal cords since that's a highlight of every set they play. I wish they would put out an album and go on tour again though.

    For many many years now this has been my single tune to go to express in Music what it feels like to see am Ex after a break up, out for the 1st time. And they are moving on. Or at least they are making sure you think so.
    Nothing I've hear outside of maybe "Creep", captures how you feel in that moment. I've been a die hard fan ever since I 1st heard it. They have a lot of others as well. Numb would be my 2nd fav of theirs.
    Amazing band! With amazing band members. I hope they go very far and bring back the music And class we have lost in a Hoppity Hop world.

    This song still gives me chills. It takes me back to the first year of my wife & I together. The immense love & total destruction of all my walls I had built from years of hurt. 11 years & feeling that those days are long gone, along with the love she had for me, because life happens. I’ll always be thankful for those 11 years & know that if I see her in 11 years - she & this song will still hit me just as hard. Maybe I’ll still be around then….or maybe I’ll be a ghost.
